Privacy Policy

1. Information You Provide to Us

You may voluntarily provide personal information when contacting us through the Site or otherwise communicating with us.

Depending on the information requested or provided, this may include:

• your name;
• email address;
• telephone number, if provided;
• company or organization;
• professional information;
• the contents of your message;
• project or business information you choose to provide; and
• any other information you voluntarily submit.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information, passwords, financial account information, government identification numbers, medical information, confidential third-party data, or trade secrets through a general website contact form.

2. Information Collected Automatically

When you access the Site, certain technical and usage information may be collected automatically by our hosting, analytics, security, or infrastructure providers.

Depending on the technology involved, this information may include:

• pages viewed;
• referring website or source;
• date and time of access;
• browser type and version;
• operating system;
• device type;
• general or approximate geographic location;
• language settings;
• page URLs;
• interactions with Site features;
• campaign or referral parameters;
• network and diagnostic information; and
• other technical information necessary to operate, secure, or measure the Site.

This information is generally used to understand Site performance and usage rather than to personally identify individual visitors.

3. Google Analytics

The Site uses Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors interact with the Site.

Google Analytics may collect pseudonymous information concerning Site usage, including page interactions, browser and device information, approximate geographic information, traffic sources, and other measurement data.

Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to distinguish visitors and measure interactions.

Google may process information collected through Google Analytics in accordance with its own terms and privacy policies.

We do not intentionally send names, email addresses, telephone numbers, or other directly identifying contact information submitted through our contact forms to Google Analytics.

Where available and appropriate, we may configure Google Analytics privacy and retention settings to reduce unnecessary data collection.

Visitors can also use browser settings, consent controls where available, or Google's available Analytics opt-out mechanisms to limit certain Analytics processing.

4. Vercel Web Analytics

The Site may use Vercel Web Analytics to measure aggregate website traffic and performance.

Vercel Web Analytics is designed to operate without third-party cookies and generally provides aggregated analytics rather than persistent cross-site tracking.

It may process information such as:

• page views;
• URLs or routes;
• referring websites;
• approximate geographic location;
• device type;
• operating system;
• browser type;
• event timestamps; and
• configured website events.

Vercel may generate temporary technical identifiers from incoming requests for measurement purposes.

We do not intentionally use Vercel Web Analytics to identify individual Site visitors.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Site may use cookies, local storage, pixels, scripts, server-side measurement technologies, or similar technologies where necessary for functionality, analytics, security, or performance.

At present, we do not intentionally use the Site for behavioral advertising or deploy advertising cookies for the purpose of building advertising profiles.

However, analytics services such as Google Analytics may use cookies or similar identifiers in connection with website measurement.

You can generally control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain technologies may affect some website functionality or analytics measurement.

Where applicable law requires consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies, we may provide an appropriate consent mechanism.

6. LinkedIn and Other Third-Party Services

The Site may contain links to, buttons for, or integrations with LinkedIn.

If you click a LinkedIn link or interact with LinkedIn content or functionality, LinkedIn may receive information relating to that interaction in accordance with its own privacy practices.

LinkedIn is an independent third party, and we do not control its processing of information.

The Site may add additional third-party services or integrations in the future, such as video platforms, scheduling tools, mapping services, social-media services, or other website functionality.

If future technologies materially change how personal information is collected or used, this Privacy Policy will be updated as appropriate and consent or other controls will be implemented where required by law.

7. How We Use Information

We may use information collected through the Site to:

• operate and maintain the Site;
• respond to questions or inquiries;
• communicate regarding potential projects, employment opportunities, partnerships, or professional matters;
• analyze Site usage and performance;
• identify popular or useful content;
• improve Site design, content, functionality, and user experience;
• diagnose technical problems;
• prevent fraud, abuse, malicious activity, or security incidents;
• protect our legal rights and intellectual property;
• comply with legal obligations;
• maintain business records; and
• establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

We do not use contact-form submissions for unrelated mass marketing unless you separately consent to such communications.

8. How We Share Information

We may disclose information to service providers that help us operate the Site or conduct related business activities.

These providers may include:

• website hosting and infrastructure providers;
• analytics providers;
• cloud-service providers;
• email and communication providers;
• security providers;
• professional advisers; and
• contractors assisting with website operations.

These parties may process information only in connection with the services they provide or under their own applicable legal obligations.

We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to:

• comply with applicable law;
• respond to lawful subpoenas, court orders, or governmental requests;
• investigate fraud or unlawful conduct;
• protect our rights, property, safety, users, or systems;
• enforce agreements; or
• establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

If Colmena Digital LLC undergoes a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction subject to applicable law.

9. Sale of Personal Information and Targeted Advertising

We do not currently sell personal information collected through this Site.

We also do not currently use personal information collected through the Site to conduct cross-site behavioral advertising on behalf of unrelated third parties.

If these practices change, we will update this Privacy Policy and implement any notices, consent mechanisms, or opt-out rights required by applicable law.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or for legitimate business, recordkeeping, legal, security, dispute-resolution, or compliance purposes.

For example, correspondence relating to a professional inquiry may be retained for an appropriate period as part of our business records.

Analytics data may be retained according to the settings and retention practices of the relevant analytics provider.

Information may be retained for longer periods where necessary to comply with law, enforce agreements, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, or protect legal rights.

11. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, network, transmission method, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through or stored in connection with the Site.

12. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live and the law applicable to your information, you may have rights regarding your personal information.

These rights may include the ability to request:

• confirmation of whether we process your personal information;
• access to personal information associated with you;
• correction of inaccurate information;
• deletion of certain personal information;
• a copy of certain information;
• restriction or objection to certain processing;
• withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent; or
• opt-out from certain forms of sale, targeted advertising, or profiling where applicable.

To make a privacy request, contact:

legal@edgardoaltuve.com

Please clearly describe your request and provide sufficient information for us to reasonably identify the records involved.

We may request additional information when reasonably necessary to verify your identity or authority to make a request.

Your rights may vary depending on your jurisdiction, and certain exceptions may apply.

We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights.

13. Florida Residents

The Site is operated in the United States and may be subject to applicable Florida privacy, consumer-protection, data-security, and breach-notification laws.

Where Florida law grants an applicable privacy right to a visitor and that law applies to our processing, we will respond to eligible requests as required by law.

Requests may be submitted to:

legal@edgardoaltuve.com

14. California and Other U.S. State Privacy Rights

Residents of certain U.S. states may have privacy rights under state law, depending on the nature of the business, the information involved, and the applicability thresholds of the relevant statute.

Where such a law applies, eligible individuals may submit applicable access, correction, deletion, portability, or opt-out requests using the contact information in this Policy.

We do not currently sell personal information or use Site visitor information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

15. International Visitors

The Site is operated from the United States.

If you access the Site from outside the United States, information may be processed or stored in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.

Privacy and data-protection laws in those jurisdictions may differ from those in your country.

Where applicable law provides additional rights concerning international transfers or processing, we will comply with those requirements to the extent they apply.

16. European Economic Area and United Kingdom

Where European or United Kingdom data-protection laws apply to our processing, the legal basis for processing personal information may include:

• your consent;
• taking steps at your request before entering into a potential agreement;
• performance of an agreement;
• compliance with legal obligations; and
• legitimate interests, such as operating and securing the Site, responding to professional inquiries, preventing fraud, maintaining business records, and understanding Site usage.

Where applicable, individuals may have rights of access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection, withdrawal of consent, and the right to lodge a complaint with an appropriate supervisory authority.

17. Children's Privacy

The Site is a professional portfolio and is not directed toward children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Site.

If we learn that a child under 13 has provided personal information without appropriate authorization, we may delete that information as appropriate.

18. Do Not Track and Privacy Preference Signals

Browsers and devices may offer “Do Not Track,” Global Privacy Control, or other privacy preference signals.

Because technical standards and legal requirements concerning these signals may vary, our response may depend on the particular signal and applicable law.

Where applicable law requires us to recognize a qualifying opt-out preference signal for processing that we conduct, we will endeavor to honor that requirement.

Because we do not currently sell Site visitor personal information or use it for cross-site behavioral advertising, certain advertising opt-out signals may not presently affect our processing.

19. External Websites

The Site may link to websites operated by other organizations.

This Privacy Policy applies only to this Site and does not govern third-party websites or services.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing them with personal information.

20. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our Site, technology, services, analytics tools, business activities, or legal obligations change.

When we make changes, the updated policy will be posted on this page and the effective date will be revised.

Material changes may be communicated through additional notice where appropriate or legally required.
